EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier in 1889, showcases a collection of exquisite oil paintings from the late 16th century. The artwork features four distinct figures: two young children, identified as A (aged two) and B (aged one), and two women, identified as noblewoman C and Sabine of Wurttemberg, Landgravine of Hesse (D). The children, dressed in richly embroidered garments and adorned with intricate accessories, display a sense of innocence and playfulness. Their rosy cheeks and curious expressions add to their endearing charm. The noblewoman, with her regal bearing and elegant attire, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Her elaborate headdress and ornate jewelry reflect the opulence of the era. Sabine of Wurttemberg, Landgravine of Hesse, is depicted in a more subdued yet equally impressive ensemble. Her somber yet elegant attire, adorned with pearls and intricate lace, highlights her noble status. Her serene expression and gentle gaze add to her refined and regal appearance. This illustration, taken from Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," provides a glimpse into the fashion and art of the late 16th century. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously documented and preserved the visual history of this period, making this artwork a valuable historical resource.
